Vice President Kashim Shettima has said Nigerians have a lot to learn from the life and times of the late Emir of Ngazargamu in Yobe State, HRH Tijjani Ahmed Ibn-Saleh.

Paying glowing tribute to the paramount monarch who passed away in Cairo, Egypt, after a prolonged illness, Shettima noted that citizens, especially the youth, must embrace and continue to seek more education as he preached.

Speaking with journalists in Damaturu, Yobe State capital, shortly after the burial of the monarch, the Vice President said the late Emir “was a symbol of unity, peace and progress,” even as he urged Nigerians to sustain the unity that exists among them for the progress of the nation.
